The main way to fix most computer type problems that relate to bad websites/downloads:
Start your computer in safe mode with networking: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...r-in-safe-mode
Go to trendmicro's website and run housecall: http://uk.trendmicro.com/uk/products...ces/index.html
Follow the on-screen prompts and most/all of your problems should be solved.
If that doesn't work you might give cnet a try:

It won't let me into windows in any way. the message i get is : windows could not start because od an error in the software. please report this problem as: load needed DLLs for kernel. please contact your support person to repoort this problem.. the virus thing may not be the problem.might just be coincidence. sorry for the lousy format and typo's. doing this on a rumor phone...
One option, though you will lose everything including pictures, files and such is to format your hard drive and use your recovery disks to put it back to factory original condition. I know this is not a desired option, but it does get rid of everything, including viruses and such. For those who do nto have any, I highly recommend making recovery disks. It is a lot better to have them oon hand, instead of having to pay for them later and get them through the mail. Just my 2 copper pieces worth.
Until we meet again. :>

Basically, you're going to need to reload Windows over the top of itself to repair/return the needed DLLs...To resolve this behavior, start your computer from Windows installation CD-ROM ,
and then perform an in-place upgrade of Windows. For additional information
about how to do so, click the following article numbers to view the articles in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
315341 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315341/EN-US/ ) How to
Perform an In-Place Upgrade (Reinstallation) of Windows XP
292175 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292175/EN-US/ ) How to
Perform an In-Place Upgrade of Windows 2000
If Setup does not recognize
your current installation of Windows when you try to perform an in-place
upgrade, you cannot use an in-place upgrade to repair your installation of
Windows. In this situation, you may have to completely reinstall Windows on your
computer.
Couple questions...will that erase pictures and such? that is about all that i would worry about... and what if i can't find this disk? i found some utility disks but i don't think it is what i am needing. and does this boot from the cd autolmatically?
If you install Windows on top of itself, it should not erase any data. You will have to reinstall many of your programs. You will also have to redo any Windows settings, etc. But your pictures and stuff should be fine. Just make sure you do NOT format the drive, that would erase everything on it.
You should first try to back up important data though, if you can.
If you find the correct CD / DVD it should boot up automatically. You might have to go into the BIOS and set the CD / DVD drive as your first boot drive, though.
